SAI'ETYVGAS si'ovE WITH KITCHEN cesium.

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, HARRY OHILINGIRIAN,

a citizen of Armenia, residing at Bridgeport, county of F airfield, State ,of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Safety Gas Stoves with Kitchen Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention rel-ates to gas stoves and particularly to gas cook stoves and has for an object to provide a stove of this type which willbe reliable and eflicient in operation and which will be simple in construction and comparatively cheap and easy .to man ufacture.

In the preferred form the invention comprises a supporting cabinet or stand com+ prising supporting legs with top, bottom, end and side walls enclosing the space be-' tween the legs, which space is accessible through suitable doors. Mounted upon the topof the supporting cabinet is a gas plate carrying one or more burners surrounded by sheet metal walls connected at the corners by means of sliding joints so that they may be easily put together and taken apart, if desired, and with a retractable'cover plate. over the burners. Referring to the accompanying" drawings, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my stove, part being broken away to more.- clearly disclose the structure.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug, 22, 1922, Application filed August 23, 1921. Serial No. 494,464.

v Fig. 14 is a detailed section, line 1414 of Fig. 2, and i w Fig. 15 is a detailed sectionof the ornamentation at top edges of the walls of the The lower half or base portion of, the stove comprises a supporting cabinet preferably rectangular in shape and provided at each corner with a supporting leg 20. Suitable side and end members 21 and 22, re- 66 spectively, are secured to the legs at the upper ends thereof to hold them together and form a frame. The end members 22 are secured to the legs by means of two bolts 23', while the side members 21 are secured to the legs by a single bolt 24. This allows the legs at either end to be folded into the frame about-the bolts 24'as pivots, shown in Fig. 13, the sides 21 extending across the ends of members 22, as shown in Fig. 3. The legs 7 are connecteda suitable distance above the floor by suitable end bars 25 which are fas-' tened between two legs and are preferably glued and doweled thereto, as shown at 26 In Fig. 2. -.These bars are rabbeted at 27 to form a seat for the ends of the bottom 28 of the cabinet. To'the rear edge of the bottom member 28 is hinged a back comprising two sections 29 and 30 hinged to ether at-31. Also hinged to' the upper e geof lower section29 but on the opposite side from the hinges for the section 30 is hinged a shelf 32 which when in assembled tion is supported by suitable brackets 33.

In transporting the stove the bottom 28 and the back 29 and 30 may be removed from the supporting cabinet and folded, as indi-' cated in Fig. 5, the top section 30 being folded back on the lower section-29, the shelf 32.

moved into alignment with the section 29-9 and then the back and bottom folded together.

The end walls of the cabinet are, com- 4 posed of any suitable construction p-refer-' ably as shown with a panel 34 and vertically arranged spaced slats 35.. The front'fwall is practically of the sanie col'lstlfllotion but is formed in two sections, each section bein a sliding door 36 provided with supporting wheels 37 running ontracks 38 on the upper side of the bar 39 extending between the two front legs. Suitable guides 40 are also provided ondahe bar 41 extending between the legs at the upper ends thereof, these guides running in grooves on the'top edges of the doors. These doors, however, instead of being slidablymounted may be hinged if desired, although the sliding arrangement is more desirable. Within the cabinet may also be mounted one or more drawers 42 mounted to slide on suitable supporting members 43.

The upper section of the stove is mounted on top of the supporting cabinet and is made of sheet metal comprising a bottom wall 44, front wall 45, rear wall 46 and end walls 47. These walls are preferably secured at the corners, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the vertical edges of the rear wall being bent back upon the body at 46, the front wall 45 being left straight but having secured on the inner side thereof plates 48 bent upon themselves at 49. This front plate is left straight to improve the appearance of the stove from the front. The end walls 47 are bent at right angles at their vertical edges and then folded inwardly on themselves at 49. The bottom edges'of these walls 47 are also bent in a similar manner, as shown at 50 in Fig. 7, the ends of the bottom wall 44 being bent upon themselves at 51 in Fig. 7. In

assembling, the curved walls at 50 and 51 of the walls 47 and the bottom wall 44 are placed in locking position by sliding one into the other. Then the back 46 and the front 45 are slid downwardly from the top with the bent portions 4649 and 4849 interlocking, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. This whole top portion may then be placed upon the top of the supporting cabinet and secured thereto by any suitable means such as screws passing through the bottom 44 into the tops of the legs or the bar 41.

A gas plate 52 is supported on this bottom 44 and may be of any suitable construction. Preferably a frame work,,as shown, lies on suitable legs 53 and carries any desired number of burners 54 under the grids 54', the burners being supplied with gas from a .pipe 55 and suitable controlling valves 56. It willbe noted the gas plate and burners are'completely surrounded by the sheet metal walls of the top section of the stove so that they are protected from drafts and-are not likely to be accidentally extinguished thereby.

In order that the burners may be covered when not in use I mount a cover plate 57 l of the top section.

thereover, this plate filling substantially the entire space between the side and end walls It is mounted so that it may occupy a horizontal position over the burners, as shown in full lines in Figs. 1' and 2, to cover the burners and also to provide a convenient shelf, or it may be retracted to a position at the rear'of the burners against the rear wall 46, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. I accomplish this result by securing in the corners, between the rear walls 46 and end walls 47, suitable over a rod 63, the free ends of the rod eX- tending through the slots 61. The front edge of the plate 57 is bent downwardly at 64 and when this plate is in the horizontal position it rests upon the upper edge of the front wall 45. When it is desired to move the cover plate to its Vertical out of the way'position, the front edge 64 is lifted, the whole plate pushed backwardly .until the endso-f bar 63 reachthe upper ends of the vertical portions of the slots61, when they move downwardly therein allowing the plate 57 to rest against the rear wall 46, as shown in dotted lines Fig. 2. When it is desired to bring this plate toa horizontal position, a reverse action is necessary, the rod 68 being drawn upwardly in the slot 61 until it reaches the top thereof when it is drawn forwardly in the short horizontal portion and the front edge 64 placed upon the upper edge of the front 45. If desired a second shelf 65 may be supported from the end walls of the upper section by'suitable angle irons as 66. Also the upper edges of the rear and end walls maybe finished with any suitable ornamentation, such as a U-shaped edge binder 67, as shown in Fig. 15.

As the side and end members 21, 22, connecting the tops of the legs 20, are preferably of wood, at the ends thereof I insert suitable strengthening members 68, where the bolts 23 and 24 pass through these members, to prevent their splitting. These inserts are preferably flat pieces of wood inserted between the tongues 69 and 70 with the grain running at right angles with the grain of members 21 and 22, and gluediin position.

Instead of securing the edges of the bottom and end walls by bending, as shown in Fig. 7, they may if desired be hinged together, as shown at 69 in Fig. 12. This allows the end walls to be folded down upon the bottom walls without disconnecting them.

It will be apparent from the foregoing description that I have devised a very efficient gas cook stove which is simple in construction and may, therefore, be easily and cheaply manufactured. Also, because of the manner of mounting the burners, they are protected from drafts which might accidentally extinguish the same thus securing the maximum of safety.

Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, what I claim is:

1. In a gas stove, a support, a gas plate including burners mounted on said support,

back and end walls around said plate, and a retractable cover plate over the gas plate and burners adapted to be moved to a position to the rear of the burners and between the burner, brackets located to the rear of the burner provided with L-shaped slots, and means on the cover plate pivotallyand slidably mounted in said slots, and so arranged that the cover plate may be placed in a horizontal position over the burner or be moved to an upright position to the rear thereof.
